france and britain reportedly want their ambassadors out of israel of the country's plans to colonize more palestinian lands and withdraw aid. the u.n. says israeli settlement expansion could deal and almost fatal blow to peace all the details coming up. as border tension flares again between turkey and syria the conflict is expected to be addressed during it in straight visit to istanbul. and the british jobs program that's just not working as it's revealed it actually makes it even less likely to keep people employed.

on air and online twenty four seven you're watching r t i'm carrie johnston on top story now france and britain have someone to be israeli ambassadors in their countries to get answers over why more settlements have been authorized in disputed lands east jerusalem and as both countries are now considering recording their own envoys un and the e.u. said the construction plans pose a threat to peace hopes of middle east correspondent. in the immediate run up to that you wouldn't vote we did see the rhetoric from the israeli government in terms of the threat of sanctions being turned down the what we're hearing now is that for the first time ever britain and france are considering recording their ambassadors from tel aviv over israel's expansionist policies in the settlements now this comes off the announcement by the israeli prime minister netanyahu that he was approving the construction of some three thousand new housing

units in the west bank and east jerusalem that's happening in an area known as anyone and what it effectively means is that the waste that will be cut off in streets to them this announcement is widely perceived as punishment against the palestinians for number one going to the u.n. was with this by the number two winning it essentially winning that sees the palestinian state being recognized within one hundred sixty seven borders and given non observer nonmember observer status at the united nations now we're also hearing criticism of some european ambassadors european diplomats who want to be going quickly on certain moves against israel now we are also hearing from the un secretary-general bank you really meant to quote him he says that this has developed and almost fatal blow to the remaining choices of securing a two state solution amongst the punishment that the israeli government has taken is that they have frozen some one hundred million dollars in tax money that is

welcome it's on behalf of the palestinian authority has built a painful blow to the p.a. because essentially can only cover around seventeen percent of its needs the rest of the money comes from this tax money comes from the united states and from the european union if you look at the sick the population in this country they too also unhappy they do not believe that the israeli prime minister netanyahu will go ahead with building these units they believe that it's almost a cheap move by netanyahu to try and gain support ahead of genuine easier. nixon's and that this is an internal matter to try and really build votes be this one yahoo government essentially sees this but and perhaps i should say not just in the time yahoo government but many israelis feel that it was a one sided resolution that was put forward at the united nations and the point being made by the government is that they cannot be any kind of human lateral moves on the palestinian side they need to first be negotiations and only then can that

lead to talks there needs to be direct talks between both sides. president putin is in turkey for talks with officials from russia's key trading partner for the visit is being overshadowed by the two countries differences over syria moscow's concerned with the backing of the rebels and the expected deployment of nato missiles in turkey comes as more syrian shells reportedly fall across the border into turkey. reports now from istanbul. russia believes that the any outside interference in the syrian conflict which has been raging on for almost two years now is completely unacceptable and is absolutely damaging to the regional stability turkey however seems to have a different opinion on the matter they have completely and totally severed their ties though with the country that used to be not just its closest neighbor but also a very close ally have been very openly supporting the syrian opposition whether or not they have been known to be aligned with extremist terrorist organizations as long as these people are against president bashar assad the turkish government

seems to support them and that is again a situation which moscow says is very dangerous they're saying that if there are weapons on the border they will shoot and most probably this will be one of the main topics of discussion between president putin and the turkish leaders in istanbul today also several of bilateral deals are expected to be signed considering culture technology. energy but of course also this visit is important because the recent rumors about the russian leaders have been circulating for quite some time over these rumors regarding his health have been refuted by his press service for saying that the reason why the russian president either postholes or canceled altogether his trips abroad has nothing to do with his health but has everything to do with quote the schedule and he's back on track now and probably will be making more trips to foreign countries. well the fierce faceoff between egypt's president and the country's judiciary shows no signs of dying down is the

most supporters of mohamed morsi have remained outside egypt's most powerful court since encircled it on saturday. on the legality of its newest control panel that you go up you get to prostitution charges instead went on strike one willing to be intimidated by the protests the court has also refused to oversee the referendum on the draft just lation said december comes as president activists renewed calls for demos against what they call an oppressive regime with mass marches planned for tuesday and as the political turmoil continues egypt's finances also suffer economist in a time of explained. with protests continuing around the clock both for and against egyptian president mohamed morsi the country's economy is facing increasing troubles with me to discuss this is very. an economist here in cairo thank you for joining me first of all tell us briefly what was really going on in the stock

market just over a week ago on hearing mosts announcement the next it seems the stock market stall sharply is it even coalesce around the same down this is it you have and this is is muslims are going to be. we are going to take a long full forty billion dollars how would you compare egypt's economy now. at the bottom of the economy with some much steve leung that mubarak. was sixty five feet at central bank now we know still down fifteen point five billion dollars and this is a huge i thought well deserved and in fact the impulse and this is the first investor. no one will come to invest anything any here in egypt due to these he is

the first of six took. on a loan to unemployment food to do is to add the us only also six to sunni odd and if you could see it you would. build this continues to be all over egypt this would affect also if jews of egypt business would be shocked at our feet now we are divided between two parts that is a pole is a political force in one hand and muslim who'd been us all hands whom we all in the body of the six was better thank you it seems that the egyptian people don't agree on much these days one of the few things they do agree on is that egypt's economy needs to get back on the right track and as soon as possible. they're now getting at britain's unemployed into jobs it's proving to be a costly failure only three quarters of a million people join the work program in the french only but it's. also true the french cut off the qatari cash because the well desperate is now raising

the skepticism over its most influence the details just ahead. looking at some talks you simply do not believe they come speak and goodness how they can wrong oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh it's an international sled dog race with those driving the dogs. coming from as far away as a strand in canada and the us i come to russia and everybody is so very friendly they welcomed me with open arms and the scenery is so beautiful it's very much like alaska and so i felt at home the first sled dog was brought here from australia not a stray as come to this remote russian village to take part in the race it's not surprising they love it this trail ira mazie. but even more amazing is the

story of how racing first started here at all it wasn't the tough mushers of sled dog racing who set the trail of lace but a nun and for all for those who brought their deer to life five years ago mother pressed care of a bill to dog kennel in the village kids from the local open age came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their life might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed the dogs before school in the evening they spend up to three hours training their four legged friends but mother per square also encourages her kids to become dab hands on the computer and internet the boys regularly updated their website and they're in touch with their busy mother twenty four seven on the phone itself. but children are the most important thing my only interests not play any role anymore and regardless of whether parsky has huskies

win the race or not she hopes the competition will take place in the village next year. but called these dogs and the children it really is not the winning but truly just the taking part that counts. there are britain's new work program is supposed to get the other employees into jobs but it's having less success than people who look for themselves the five billion pound program has so far only got around three percent of job seekers off welfare so first has a story. for months now twenty five year old j. paxton's been keeping a video diary about his experiences on the government's work programme.

the work programs the government's flagship scheme that pays private sector organizations to place people in work and they called it a revolution in welfare but the first figures released since its launch revealed a resoundingly failure something that hasn't surprised slightest they've left eighty going keep his appointment now it seems pretty tightly regimented we've watched people running in all morning to keep that appointment been coming to this job center once a fortnight for the past six months that he's been on the government's work programme in that time he hasn't found a single job unfortunately that's not uncommon the latest figures released by the department of work and pensions say that joe is just one of hundreds of thousands of people that has signed up to that work programme skein he found absolutely

nothing. in fact between gene two thousand and eleven and july this year of all the people he was signed up to the work program only three point four percent found work far below the target of five point five percent which is the number of people he find work with that any sort of program it means that people like to typically less likely to find a job than if their own new work program whatsoever can you talk as he is to the last six months what has the experience been and on a daily basis with this what. well. einstein once said the definition of insanity is to do one thing and then to repeat that action and expect a different result and after doing the same thing and getting the same results for six months i'm starting to feel pretty insane over here and it is maddening the frustration be anguish despair most of the time the job in the experience is having

serious effects are actually gone to the doctors a couple of times because of our sleeping cycle problems i'm sleeping way too much and i should be and the doctors there sounds interesting from what you've said that sounds pretty terrific when you fill in this tracklist so i filled in the chunk listeners like you got clinical depression. figures. at the start i was drawn in science i'm going to be you know the next greatest thing show the world it's like i don't want to take these pills i'd rather do something more constructive so things are pretty much. all fish if malik tells us that the one size fits all formats is the work programme is stifling the individuality of young. people i speak to quite intelligent quite bright some of them have to agree some of them don't and some of them are quite well skilled and they hate being told what to do and they like to take appropriate action for

themself. you'd be quite good at finding work for themselves. it is difficult with a work program what we see now is that in fact when you get the best of the private sector involved when you pay them lots of money they actually do worse than doing nothing at all we asked the government why the program was pretty things that poor results and why the figures they really seem designed to mask the chilly extent of the failure he responded saying it's ridiculous to suggest the work programme is not helping people into work despite being faced with their i am sure cummings it seems the government still doesn't want to listen to people like telling the loud and clear i regret to inform you that on this occasion you have been unsuccessful. r.t. london but to some other world news this hour south korea says it's looking to reroute

france is already no stranger to qatari dollars fans of parisian football club present your man cannot believe their luck ever since middle east and shakes invested into the team they've bought world class players and hired a top coach now this small business owner hopes he can also have a slice of the pie and huge economic crisis financing from governments are. too big to be obtained talking about cuts or we are talking about business we don't have any finance so we have a financing of financial. we can go and that may soon happen nicolas sarkozy's administration cemented ties with doha placing a military base in the gulf state and signing an investment deal now qatar is to invest fifty million euros into the french economy primarily to help small

businesses and rebuild parisian slums mostly inhabited by immigrants from arabic and african states. who oversaw the deal says this will help many the strongest maybe. that will help these youth. to escape this circle because when people have a job their vision of life is totally different when this young people have no job they go into religion they go into violence and terror and that's terrible for the republic and that's terrible for france but after from so our long game to power this love affair with qatar got called despite that the new administration said the deal with qatar would still go ahead things are not looking as optimistic as they were during the sarkozy era every step of the guitar ambassador in paris is being closely watched by the french media and some members of parliament are even calling to investigate the actions of qatar and frogs security experts believe that qatar's

initiative is. not as innocent as it may first appear security services perfectly know that chatter as a dual strategy on one hand counter as a purely economic strategy to find all the sectors to invest in and to make money the other strategy of candour is religiously and do a politically driven it's mean that it's subjective is to extend radical islamism it means one how business in north africa in the middle east in central asia as well in southeast asia and to develop such a strategy to get the western world to keep it centrally nationalist forces say the developing suburbs is only a cover up for investment into radical islamic groups that i was investing against libyan regime even if my market he was not the best guy actually bishan interfering now we have a civil war involving a lot of islamist presence as in syria today we know that is investing in.

districts and arming them so all. of it not so good so good partner for us and stories like that of mohamed merah a shooter from toulouse who killed seven jews this spring stirred the debate he came from one of the troubled areas where qatar is planning to invest and public discourse on the matter suggests that people in france are not certain whether the oil rich state would cure such a problem or aggravated. the russian ski auntie reporting from paris. keeping it in the family seems to be the solution when it comes to driving india's economic growth and the younger generation are getting a better education to take their skills and their small businesses to the next level. met the man who thinks he's got the recipe for success. it's every little kid's dream to have endless amounts of ice cream and sweets but for gurpreet singh it was a reality he got

a taste of his family's business and what would soon become his destiny from a young age. so. today gurpreet has taken his grandfather's vision and built an ice cream empire that both thirty five stores across northern india and a factory that churns out four thousand liters of ice cream every day singh is doing what most family businesses fail to do build a sustainable and successful model that lasts beyond the third generation he credits his business degree from the u.k. and his work experience at a restaurant there for much of his success. the opportunity. right. hundred you know just come back and do something with your forefathers. so that's why. if you expand on the same generation

here in india is in a unique position for the first time many of his peers have been able to get a higher education at a prestigious university and they're using that education to innovate their family's business they're also taking control of their family business at a time when india's middle class is growing experts say that if this generation is able to use their education to cash in on india's growing consumer power it could help drive india's economic growth in the coming year is something rajeev says indian families are taking to heart. the best education to be seen as equals around the world. i think it has a lot of. you know. families going for gurpreet hopes to take his family's company even further. he wants to sprinkle stores across all the major indian cities and branch out beyond just ice cream to. if.

it's. building something that will be good for his family's future the fact that it's good for india's economy well that's just the cherry on top preassure either r t new delhi india. now concern over water wars are spreading around the globe the fear is some countries could eventually run dry well later crosstalk debates whether there is a political agenda behind the panic. problem of water to be out of water is a dramatic turn we've definitely sells and everybody it feels like there's a drought there and there's no water to be had i think it's a lot different than that if we can get when you want to have the kind of lifestyles the eating habits the consumption habits that the west has and has been

espousing and selling all over the world look at us look at us we're so-called we're so great and you want to be like us now the rest of the world is trying to imitate precisely those sorts of low status and eating habits which are inappropriate for the kind of context in which in which those people are living that's the fundamental disconnect that we need to focus on they're out of order what do we do let's build it down or you know what let's sell this technology and that's the sort of interest that that sort of conversation helps and that's very unfortunate michael in washington jump in go ahead there seems to be a tendency that is if you hear a country is running out of water it's going to require some sort of huge incredible thing whether it be some sort of large there are some huge project or some major endeavor to rescue the country and bring back water generate more why not really in a lot of cases and particularly in a case like pakistan which i've looked at quite closely i know donnish as well you know you could take relatively simple measures like paying a relatively small amount of money to patch up leaks.

yes water was in crosstalk in just a few minutes here in r.t. . but let's return now to president putin's trade visit to turkey which comes as the country's tension with neighboring syria is increasing the topic both russia and turkey have struggled to see eye to eye on reaction now from a journalist you said kindly in ankara for us not what arguments can we expect turkey and russia to bring up over syria do you think is there any room for agreement. but of course no one disagreed. with a statement saying the. approach their positions but it is a. difference between russia. difference is of course turkey along with some. western allies.

but. providing. you mentioned intervention there i mean can't really afford to be drawn further into the syrian conflict at this point i. know that there are contingency plans if things back out. allies are not sufficiently. secure.

the problem. security of course is difficult to say. established. country neighboring countries. dervish now turkey is supporting the syrian rebels but far in the future. many people including myself have been. provided. to the opposition groups which as you said. this group. are considered by. terrorist. to.

start cutting. operating against their. so. given what you say what are turkey's long term objectives in the region and what are they trying to do their. government. are two different things we don't see eye to eye or the government of this issue. disagree with the government. claiming. pro-democracy lines. not the government but the people's.

support not. change in such as a country must first take care of. those security. interests have to leave it there for now live from ankara that was a journalist yousef california joining us. cross talk is coming your way after this short break stay with us. wedge issues do just what their name implies they get between people and drive them apart like a wedge and these issues seem to always take the forefront in the media things like abortion gun rights marijuana legalization and the weather well the weather isn't really a west coast people sure talk about it way too much.
